January

Michigan shines in the deepest winter months. Explore more than 40 ski areas and 6,500 miles of snowmobiling trails, catch sight of the northern lights and marvel over frozen waterfalls. If you’re feeling bold, strap on a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and make your way from Munising to the Grand Island National Recreation Area where colorful curtains of ice point toward the ground.

February

The Mackinac Bridge is one of Michigan’s most photographed sights, connecting the mainland with charming Mackinac Island. Under the bridge, the Straits of Mackinac flow with powerful currents and connect to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Come wintertime, the cold temperatures and wind speeds create the perfect conditions for otherworldly ice formations to form naturally around the famed bridge.

March

With the first signs of spring just around the corner, March is a transformative time in Michigan. The ground may still be covered in snow in the Upper Peninsula’s Keweenaw Peninsula, but the sky is lighter and the days are longer. Great Sand Bay sits on the northwest shore of Lake Superior, home to windswept sand dunes and perfect vantage points to watch the sun sink below the horizon.

April

On cloudless nights, away from the city lights, April is one of the peak months to see the northern lights in all their colorful glory. Streaking overhead in a kaleidoscope of pink, green and blue, this natural phenomenon can be experienced in areas around Michigan. Duck Lake State Park, while not as far north as other prime spots, sits at the right latitude to catch these geomagnetic storms, with clear views over Lake Michigan.

May

Spring’s light touch leaves a lasting impression on Michigan’s state parks and preserves. In Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, Lake of the Clouds is surrounded by mountain peaks and lush old-growth forests — a perfect place to settle in and snap photographs of the water surrounded by colorful wildflowers and fluffy clouds overhead.

June

For Michiganders, summertime means long, leisurely hikes, cool waterfalls and gentle breezes. Encompassing nearly 50,000 acres and over 13 miles in the Upper Peninsula, Tahquamenon Falls State Park is a sought-after recreation destination. Marvel over the 50,000 gallons of water that tumble off the brink every second, dropping nearly 50 feet into the sparkling pool below.
